  • Variable volume flow injection nozzle
    Patent number: 10765102
    Abstract: The present invention provides a molluscicide application apparatus and process that disperses the molluscicide below the water's surface in a manner that minimizes air entrainment and ensures that the molluscicide solution settles at the targeted floor of the body of water, such as a river or lake bed where driessenid mussels are concentrated, and do not rise to the water's surface or disperse. The present invention also maintains a desired viscosity level, for example, 180 centistokes, at typical freshwater temperatures varying from 15° C. to 25° C. by adjusting the flow rate and/or nozzle orifice area of the molluscicide application.
    Type: Grant
